10 Boozy Ways to Drink Orange Juice, Beyond the Screwdriver

For many people, a Screwdriver was the first cocktail they ever had. But this simple mixture was probably made with sub-par orange juice and vodka that came in a giant plastic bottle, so it's likely that the drink didn't make a great impression. But orange juice deserves another chance behind the bar because, despite any Screwdriver-addled memories, fresh orange juice is an incredible cocktail ingredient. Here, 10 delicious orange juice cocktails.

Aruba Ariba

Fresh pineapple and orange juices paired with sweet, syrupy grenadine tint this vibrant Aruban cocktail a stunning deep orange-red.

Edna's Lunchbox

This surprisingly tasty cocktail is an unlikely mix of three ingredients: fresh orange juice, amaretto, and light beer.

Blood Orange Margaritas

Sweet-tart blood oranges lend an intense citrus flavor and gorgeous blush color to this beloved cocktail, but standard navel oranges will also work here.

Commodore 64

This is an orange-infused variation on the Commodore No. 2 (bourbon, crème de cacao, lemon juice, and grenadine) from the 1935 Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book.

Fog Cutter

A powerful mix of white rum, gin, brandy, and sherry, this old-school tiki cocktail is tied together with orange juice and orgeat.

Sereno Cocktail

Chef Eric Ripert invented this complex, spicy-sweet rum drink on the spot in Puerto Rico.

Painkiller

Silky cream of coconut and a sweet-tart blend of fresh orange and pineapple juices get a delicious hit of rich vanilla and molasses notes from rum in this famously soothing cocktail.

Thai Basil Sangria

This stripped-down version of Spanish sangria gets its rich golden hue — and zingy flavors — from white wine, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and a kick of brandy.

Campari Spritz

In this play on an Aperol Spritz, we swap out the slightly sweeter Aperol with Campari and mix in a little blood orange juice, Prosecco, and grapefruit-flavored sparkling water for an altogether refreshing cocktail.

Orange Liqueur Mimosa

Classic mimosas get a twist by swapping out the traditional orange juice with splashes of homemade orange syrup (made with fresh orange juice) and orange liqueur.
